Things are just slowing down at the store me now around 7:30PM...
I got a late enough start today that I missed the first pass of the UPS driver to drop off shipments this morning. He did leave a note saying he would be back later, and that worked for me at the time. Should have known that would kick me in the back side. The early part of the day was almost mausoleum dead. INCREDIBLY DEAD...
Then the shipment showed up around 2:30PM. I had no sooner unpacked things from boxes when it seemed like everyone and their mother came in to look around, browse, and buy things. Good problem for a merchant to have, but it stayed that way for the next four hours or so. Skribl came in at 5PM, so that helped give me some coverage and allowed me to get things into the system. I am just now starting to relax...
One of the new things that came in was the Exemplar Bastion Sensechal for Warmachine. Even though I have no time to play currently, I loves me some WarmaHordes, and especially dig my churchies from the Protectorate of Menoth. The figure is a metal model, and like most things Privateer Press in the way of models, comes in about five more pieces than necessary. The mold lines are good, though the piece comes with a LOT of flash to scrape off. Ability-wise... It's a pretty standard Bastion, with the addition of Jack Marshall, Defensive Strike, Iron Wall, and a small ability called Leadership. It seems that friendly Bastions that begin an activation within this model's command range heal one point of damage. With a CMD of 10, that's no small feat. Overall, this figure has got me eyeing my half-finished Bastions thinking of all the fun I could have with them...

:-) Have to admit that was nearly the army I picked up when starting... Paladins of the Wall, but the whole "Lawful Evil" focus of most of the casters pretty much stopped it for me... They DO look nice and were always one of the most difficult armies for me to face as Cygnar or Circle...
ReplyDeleteDon't think of them as "Lawful Evil", sir...
ReplyDeleteJust think of them as right, and we'll get along just fine... =P
Seriously, though... As non-religious as I am personally, it always fascinates me to see what some cultures will do in the name of religion. With the Protectorate, I envision everything that was wrong with the Crusades (on both sides) wrapped up in one dangerous ball...
